when you consider two of those guys are laughing at their own MOTHER it becomes even worse. i know in that environment it’s difficult to the the one to stand up and say no that’s wrong and they ARE all pretty drunk but, come on
Wasting no time hacking out the Olympic logo from the ice to swap the Paralympic one in instead
You couldn't make this tit upwhen you consider two of those guys are laughing at their own MOTHER it becomes even worse. i know in that environment it’s difficult to the the one to stand up and say no that’s wrong and they ARE all pretty drunk but, come on
You have to go directly to ig to see them singing anthem in a club
It was also a bit sad to see Jack and Quinn (and their mom) seem to not see the problem as "teams support eachother" as if the main problem was whether they hang out or support them on personal level, not the fact that this situation showed a deeper problem - while surrounded by other men even some individually usually decent guys fall into boys club frat party trap and dont call eachother out on mysoginiatic behaviour.
To be fair: I read 5 or 6 players are not going to the white house so it's not the whole team that is going.
The whole narrative around the men’s hockey team is frankly bleeping mental. Yes Trump is a bad man, yes supporting him is wild. However he is still the president of the USA, the white house is still the White House. Being called by the president is an honour, being invited to the White House is an honour. Yes laughing at a crappy joke from the president is tit but they clearly were chugging the booze like no tomorrow and you’re hardly going to call out the bleeping president of the country when you’re in the middle of a career and life high. People need to go outside and touch some grass. Also if you’re shocked rich white men are right wing you really are insane & you can be right wing and not MAGA!
I saw the women’s team are still planning to go to the White House and have been posting pics with the men so frankly if they sent insulted why does anyone care.

Calling people mental and insane and telling them to touch grass will surely make them change their mind
you tell them!They are mental and insaneCalling people mental and insane and telling them to touch grass will surely make them change their mind
Imagine the men’s football team in the uk winning something and people crying because they met a politician…who is “crying” here exactly?They are mental and insane
also there isn’t really a uk comparison to make given all the variables with the men’s hockey team (ie the captain is half mexican, one of the alternate captains plays in minnesota etc) which make it more emotive. the point about them all being drunk at the time of the phone call is valid (though still disappointing given the hughes’ mother’s involvement). equally auston matthews in particular was in an impossible situation in terms of not going. expecting high level of liberal politics from, as you say, rich mostly white men is never going to end well
Imagine people in the Uk crying because a member of the royal family met a pedalo ring leader, how insaneThey are mental and insane
I won’t say more here before I’ll get a warning, so I just put you on ignore.
He’s the president, an elected individual. A member of the royal family isn’t and nobody chose to have Andrew in our lives or picked him. Not comparable xImagine people in the Uk crying because a member of the royal family met a pedalo ring leader, how insane

looking forward to it. I think the summer games threads went a lot quieter for the Paras but it’s nice joining in the chit chat about itAgree to disagree. I feel strongly about this but maybe it is because I am from the country/area where sports and athletes used to be used as a tool for propaganda, so I am allergic to any signs of this.
I see it as a luxury for the athlete if they live somewhere where they don't have to worry about meeting politicians as it can be indeed tricky situation.
Trump is not some random neutral politician, the times are not like always. And it is clear as day that whether they wanted it or not (and I am not saying all wanted, I think among those who went maybe some are his true supporters but probably most just went along for reasons you wrote about) he totally used the hockey team for his delusional targets because it fits his MAGA narrative.
I would actually say this regardless of whether it was trump or not - the bigger problem is male group mentality, locker room talk, boys being boys so we forgive everything etc. People freaking lose their minds where they are in larger groups
I am not in the UK so no access to BBC but since many people here mentioned them during the Olympics I am posting what popped up on my instagram feed
